ISO tamales in Sunnyside

Anybody know a reliable source for good tamales in the 46th St. area of Sunnyside? I often go to Taco Fiesta (on Queens Blvd between 45th and 44th Sts.) for their extremely satisfying pancita (tripe soup). Sometimes their tamales are heavenly, but sometimes they're very dried out, chewy and burnt-tasting. Maybe this is some traditional preparation that I've never heard of, or maybe they figured it wouldn't matter to a non-Mexican like myself.
